Please start using SCH

[Tobias_Azuryon]

It's by no means a weak job, but feels like one that relies on their team to finish the job due to their lack of any real burst. But if they do... yeah, they can create momentum for pressure very quickly.

Deployment is on a 2 charge system yeah?

Just thinking of how fast you can turn the opener around with your party grouped up if you Recitation + DoT + Spread and then Adlo Spread your party. -10% damage to the oppenent and +10% damage fro your party is a hell of an opener. I'd be mad that they only have broil spam if it wasn't just so good. I've left an engagement as SGE to use an elixir and due to the cast time of elixir the DoT killed me before I could heal up.

It's definitely undervalued at the moment imo. I wish SGE barrier had a dps or something but I'm fine with SCH getting some new cool stuff after PVE has screwed them lately.

Yeah, I can see how SCH has potential counterplay WHM and WAR. If you can pull it off, Mummification has the potential to prevent the target from healing through a well-timed and targeted burst. The benefit of having an on-demand AoE damage buff or AoE DoT with a damage debuff is more potent than people give credit for. The only downside is if people are aware of SCH's battle plan to Deployment Tactics Biolysis, they can spread themselves accordingly (though the AoE range isn't exactly small), but as the objective is guiding a crystal and the hallways can be rather narrow... you'll likely nail at least 3 targets each use. I know everyone's effectiveness depends on the competency of your teammates, but for SCH it feels more so than usual. It's by no means a weak job, but feels like one that relies on their team to finish the job due to their lack of any real burst. But if they do... yeah, they can create momentum for pressure very quickly.

Yeah, I can see it feeling like you need to think ahead of time, but honestly, I've seen it being pulled off quite easy and I believe they are one of the safest heal support jobs. People just need to be selfish with the shields more often than not.

I'm honestly having a bit of trouble with SCH and CC. In Frontlines, it feels like I'm doing more impact since there's a lot more ppl I can deploy dots to, but CC feels limited. And I'm not sure how to use Seraph since she's a totem rather than a fairy that follows you around since the objective is always moving. I guess I just need a bit more practice.

They are super strong, a good visual que is every time a whm jumps in, just move quick and mummify them and then land whatever empowered dot you can on them. They tend to more often than not always jump near a WAR. I hope that helps you get better!

More SCH in the CC!

edit: If you're dueling someone, put the pixie near a pillar so you can run around it, it still gets you even if you think you're LOS. It's super good for dueling. I've fallen a victim to this a few times.

I'd say it's the other way around. Cure III negates most of SCH's DoT and SCH has no way to actually save someone who its getting focused down without their limit break. Between Aquaveil double shield on CC and Protect, WHM is the best healer class at protecting a focused target while simultaneously being the best healer at picking off priority targets between their ranged nukes and polymorph.

Frontlines is where SCH actually shines.

SCH benefits from having another healer in team as they shine in extended grindy fights. I mostly swap to SCH in Crystal when there's tons of other healers queueing to ensure double healer comp. If there isn't I'll play another Job.

[Aeliott]

SCH is decent, but I feel like more than any other job it's a bit helpless when focused. If someone dives on you you can put a meagre shield on yourself and lower their damage a bit, but no mobility at all. More than any other healer they're quite reliant on having a team that sticks together and/or can keep all the attention off of you. Something hard to communicate with the limited communication and the job's unpopularity.

Why would I use SCH when I can use WHM and just spam cure 2 all game?
